27. Why You Should Rethink Iron Supplementation with Mineral Expert, Morley Robbins

Season #1 Episode #27

If you listened to my last episode, you learned all about how magnesium supports energy production and cellular function. Morley talked about why magnesium is so critical for our bodies to be able to perform basic functions. Personally, I feel like I now have a great excuse to eat dark chocolate 😉.

This week, iron is up. We are going to take a deep dive into the role of iron.

Key takeaways:

1. What role does iron play in our health?

2. What is the best way to measure iron and why is it not mainstream?

3. Where does iron "live" in the body? Our blood? Tissues?

4. What role does unbound iron play in disease progression?

5. Why are so many people "anemic" when iron is the most abundant mineral on planet earth?

6. Why are processed foods fortified with iron? Should they be?

7. Why is iron found in formula when it's not in breast milk?
